The staff are what makes this place good. The 4 staff I met during my stay were great - helpful and kind. They could not do enough for me. Mohammed arranged a private tour of Rabat; every tourist should give this a go. The Riad itself is mesmerising but in a bad state of disrepair, so please do not expect luxury. It does however have a lot of history so if you don’t mind disrespair but want to stay somewhere authentic this is the place to try. The single room was ok but I decided to upgrade for the last 2 nights to the suite as the other room was very small. For some people that would be ok, it was just a personal choice to go bigger. The Riad owners should however invest in repairs and fixing simple things like light bulbs and shower handles. It’s a shame they don’t do this.
The breakfast was very good; tasty and fresh. The ladies who make it are so friendly. The food on offer was repetitive but as it is a free breakfast there is nothing to really complain about. Every day fresh natural omelette, breads, cheese triangle, spreads, orange juice and tea/coffee. There are no restaurants close by so you need to travel out of the area but there is a good take away coffee place called Bab Chaafa 2 minutes walk. The staff there are very friendly. There are a couple of local tuc-style shops that sell a variety of snacks and I used the one near Bab Chaafa because the old man was honest and his products varied and fresh unlike the other shop diagonally across it.
Thank you for a nice
